Simple steps to strapping an ankle:

1. Measure 4-fingers width above the ankle joint, then apply the first anchor tape.

2. Add 2 x stirrups ‘U’ shape, from ankle-to-ankle

3. Add 2 x 6’s each side of the ankle, loop from inside-out, then outside-in of the ankle. “Looks like a figure 6”

4. (optional) Add Heel-locks for maximum support. Start from top-front of the ankle, then wrap around, then behind the ankle. Then continue underneath the heel, then come back up to the front of the ankle to finish.

5. Finish off, by re-anchoring over STEP 1. This holds any loose ends in neatly.

6. Check for any tightness or cuts (check the capillary re-fill in the toes). Press down firmly on the tape to minimise creases in the tape. This helps to reduce movement through the tape.

7. Test the ankle. Move and walk on it, and see how it feels. The ankle should feel firm, and supported.

Simple steps to strapping the shoulder:

1. Prepare 3 x tapes (2x 15-20cm & 1 x 10cm).

2. Have the athlete seated with shoulders slightly pulled back.

3. Feel along the top of the shoulder blade and place 15-20cm tape horizontally, with a mild pull to the tape. Then anchor to the arm bone.

4. Apply the next 15-20cm tape from the base of the neck horizontally along the upper traps down towards the 1st anchor (i.e., in step 3).

5. Apply the 10cm tape ~1-2 finger width below the middle of the collar bone (where the upper chest muscle is found). Then apply a mild pull upwards towards the shoulder, crossing in front of the shoulder.

6. Then anchor to meet tape 1 & 2.

7. Ask the athlete to relax and move their arm. They should feel a light stretch along the skin, and the shoulder should feel supported.
